Looking for a safe and confidential space to connect with other trans masculine guys? This 12-week virtual group is designed for trans men by a trans man. You will get to participate in the ways that feel good to you and talk about the things that are important to you.

trans joy is resistance

Aging while trans is a really specific experience. There are times when you are simultaneously experiencing the world as a man while internally experiencing things for the first time. Right now trans people are under attack and it can be a lot to sit with alone. This group is designed to facilitate connection, conversation, and help us build spaces where we can feel safe and fully be ourselves.

This is a closed group, the same people will be there every week. This allows us to build trusting relationships with each other. It also means that participants are asked to pay for the group even if there is a day they are unable to attend. I do not record groups to protect the privacy of participants.

Your registration fee will be refunded in full if you choose not to participate before the first group. If you choose not to continue after the group starts there is a cancellation fee of 50 dollars.

Your Group Coach

I am a white queer trans man, coach, sexuality educator. I've been working in the field of trans health for 20 years. I had the opportunity to work for Mazzoni Center and The Attic Youth Center, both LGBTQ-focused organizations. I currently have my own practice where I provide therapy and coaching to mostly queer and trans clients. In 2019 I co-authored the book Sex Therapy with Erotically Marginalized Clients: Nine Principles of Support.

My personal and professional experiences have taught me how to create a curriculum and a trans-affirming container to hold and celebrate your whole self. I'm here for you and for our community; using my unique skills and perspectives to hold and honor trans experience and pleasure in a world that too often does not see us.

As a white person, it is my responsibility to challenge and end white supremacy. I am actively engaged in anti-racist learning and strive to create spaces that feel as safe as possible for BIPOC participants.
